William Banfield 0b8a62c87b abci: Synchronize FinalizeBlock with the updated specification (#7983 ) This change set implements the most recent version of `FinalizeBlock`. # What does this change actually contain? * This change set is rather large but fear not! The majority of the files touched and changes are renaming `ResponseDeliverTx` to `ExecTxResult`. This should be a pretty inoffensive change since they're effectively the same type but with a different name. * The `execBlockOnProxyApp` was totally removed since it served as just a wrapper around the logic that is now mostly encapsulated within `FinalizeBlock` * The `updateState` helper function has been made a public method on `State`. It was being exposed as a shim through the testing infrastructure, so this seemed innocuous. * Tests already existed to ensure that the application received the `ByzantineValidators` and the `ValidatorUpdates`, but one was fixed up to ensure that `LastCommitInfo` was being sent across. * Tests were removed from the `psql` indexer that seemed to search for an event in the indexer that was not being created. # Questions for reviewers * We store this [ABCIResponses](`5721a13ab1/proto/tendermint/state/types.pb.go (L37))` type in the data base as the block results. This type has changed since v0.35 to contain the `FinalizeBlock` response. I'm wondering if we need to do any shimming to keep the old data retrieveable? * Similarly, this change is exposed via the RPC through [ResultBlockResults](`5721a13ab1/rpc/coretypes/responses.go (L69))` changing. Should we somehow shim or notify for this change? closes: #7658		3 years ago

Tendermint

Welcome to the Tendermint Core documentation!

Tendermint Core is a blockchain application platform; it provides the equivalent of a web-server, database, and supporting libraries for blockchain applications written in any programming language. Like a web-server serving web applications, Tendermint serves blockchain applications.

More formally, Tendermint Core performs Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) State Machine Replication (SMR) for arbitrary deterministic, finite state machines. For more background, see What is Tendermint?.

To get started quickly with an example application, see the quick start guide.

To learn about application development on Tendermint, see the Application Blockchain Interface.

For more details on using Tendermint, see the respective documentation for Tendermint Core, benchmarking and monitoring, and network deployments.

To find out about the Tendermint ecosystem you can go here. If you are a project that is using Tendermint you are welcome to make a PR to add your project to the list.
